Level-1 track finding with an all-FPGA system at CMS for the HL-LHC
/ James, Thomas Owen (Imperial Coll., London)
/CMS Collaboration
The CMS experiment at the LHC is designed to study a wide range of high energy physics phenomena. It employs a large all-silicon tracker within a 3.8 T magnetic solenoid, which in particular allows precise measurements of transverse momentum ($p_\mathrm{T}$) and vertex position.\\
This tracking detector will be upgraded to coincide with the installation of the High-Luminosity LHC, which will provide a luminosity up to about $7.5 \times 10^{34}\,\mathrm{cm^{-2}\,s^{-1}}$ to CMS, or 200 collisions per 25~ns bunch crossing. [...] CMS-CR-2018-329.-

Top quark and electroweak physics
/ Skinnari, Louise (Cornell U.)
Measurements of top quark and electroweak processes are central in confronting the Standard Model in all corners of phase space and probing signs of physics beyond this successful, yet incomplete, model. These proceedings summarize the status of physics involving the top quark and electroweak sectors, ranging from precision measurements of production cross sections and Standard Model parameters, such as the weak mixing angle, to studies of rare processes, such as electroweak vector-boson scattering and four top quark production.
